My website, as projected, would not be an easy one. So, my colleague (more knowledgeable about the digital world), and I vetted a great many portfolio/ website designers from various parts of the country. Ultimately, we chose Asterix Creative, and it turned out we made not only a good choice, but very likely one of the best we could have. Both Clay Kent, the software engineer, and Jennifer Rybine, the web designer, were not only very professional and very skillful, but took a personal interest in helping me well beyond just the finished site. That is, they gave me advice on how to make the site work. Given that my project was an indie novel (with a serious theme) that much attention to detail was, for me, unexpected. They are not the sort to just finish the job, take the money, and go away. They seemed to take my project personally.
Clay and Jennifer continue to support me when I have questions or advice. In my case, that extra beyond-the-call-of-duty help is much appreciated.
They are bright, very creative, and . . . good listeners—i.e., willing to learn what you have in mind so they can give you a professional product that will work for you down the line. We discussed the project by email and we met several times face-to-face in the process. It was usually at a coffee shop and ended up being a pleasant experience. It never felt like “just business,” but a human interaction of “We’re in this together to make it happen. “
The price was reasonable too.
An easy call for me: 10 out of 10.
